In this election season - how do YOU plan on getting your information? Without #internet access, information is increasingly hard to get! There are millions of people in the US and globally without this important access! #broadbandforall

The digital divide isn’t new, but the pandemic makes it an emergency. @netinclusion op-ed in @thehill thehill.com/opinion/technolo…

Many Americans still don’t have internet access — Congress should help

Congress cannot stand idly by while millions of people across the country continue to go without broadband access.

#WorldInternetDay marks the anniversary of the first Internet transmission, sent by #MarconiFellow Leonard Kleinrock. As we reflect on 51 years of connectivity, in a year when the Internet has taken on a newly enormous role, we remain committed to bridging the digital divide.

In a new @NYTimes op-ed, I laid out my plan for a "connectivity stimulus" to support the #COVID19 public health effort and our economy. The entire telecom sector, including @FCC, must cooperate to rapidly increase broadband capacity, access, and adoption. nytimes.com/2020/03/19/opini…

The need for #digitalliteracy and #digitalskills training is not surprising. Roughly a quarter of the population has no home access to computers or the internet! This percentage is even higher for many groups! We need to be funding skills training now!! industryweek.com/talent/arti…

The @FCC report I was telling y'all about earlier this week just came out. As I said, it paints a fantasy world where ALL AMERICANS have access 2 #broadband. Odd conclusion right now, when everyone is aware of the #digitaldivide My statement: gigisohn.com/wp-admin/post.p…. #COVID19
Gigi Sohn@gigibsohn22 Apr 2020
.@FCC will soon issue a report saying #broadband is being deployed to ALL Americans on a reasonable & timely basis. Given what we have learned over the past month about the tens of millions of Americans who lack access, that conclusion defies reality. wsj.com/articles/pandemic-bu…

Also, they are less likely to have a quality home internet connection. COVID-19 has proven access is a necessity.

2 ways to address network stability: 1. Mandate internet peering transparency so the source and cause of network congestion can be diagnosed and resolved. 2. Empower community stakeholders and leadership with the tools and data to evaluate and plan for broadband investment.
Pew Research Center
@pewresearch9 Apr 2020
About nine-in-ten U.S. adults (93%) say that a major interruption to their internet or cellphone service during the coronavirus outbreak would be a problem in their daily life, including 49% who say it would be a very big problem. pewrsr.ch/2x4N4DN
